Silvia Farina Elia withdrew with a left abductor strain and was replaced in the draw by lucky loser Katrina Srebotnik. Because she was seeded 12th, Maria Sharapova, who was unseeded, will now be seeded 17

Francesca Schiavone also withdrew with an injury (right thigh strain). She was replaced in the draw by lucky loser Julia Vakulenko, who will play Petra Mandula tomorrow.

I don't know.

If she was suppoed to play doubles with Eleni Daniilidou, then I can see why she isn't playing because that doubles team withdrew, which would explain why Judy is playing tomorrow.

And Brava for winning the Warsaw doubles crown! :yeah: Unfortunately it didn't get much press and there are no photos to be found.:(

That's a pretty mean thing to say about an athlete. I don't really care for Justine because of what she did at last year's FO to Serena and because she accused Lindsay of gamesmanship at a tournament in late 2002, but I don't wish for her to get sick so she cannot play.
